How well Cardigan holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 8°, Cardigan gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 2,120 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
